Down to about 16 games from over 100, I like it this way.
I am aware that the one win in my profile is from a band well below my rating, but that was achieved when I was genuinely of that strength. I have since improved, both here and OTB.
Tournament Entry Rating is calculated by the formula (CurrentRating + HighestRating) / 2. The entry rating will never drop to more than 100 points below your Highest Rating.
Rated stats are updated within 24 hours of the last completed rated game.
We aim to be the cleanest club on the site by allowing only genuine OTB players in. We aim to have a maximum in the region of 100 active members (i.e. members playing > 10 games a month) and will only evict inactive members after at least 100 days.
Blackmar Diemer Gambit. All games to begin 1)d4 d5 2)e4. This is a tactical and exciting chess opening. Maybe not completely sound but great fun......All are welcome.
